Thanks for the Hobbycraft code and 3 for 2 details; £39 of Galt science and craft kits for £22. Free delivery as well

@Shitfuckoh oh no . Do you know anyone in the London area who could get it for you? I think it's massive so might be a tidy sum to post. My DS actually prefers ninjago but this was too good to ignore.

@friskybivalves @Shitfuckoh you’ve mentioned about posting a large item, I normally use Hermès and they’re well priced.

The Book People - 25% off with ROCKET25

Has anyone found any deals on snaffling pig pork scratching please? I was in debenhams yesterday but I think they were only offering 10% off.

If anyone has a Boden £10 off they aren’t going to use I’d be very grateful for it ( not sure what I’ve done to offend Johnny this year!)

If anyone is looking for a bike Smyths has a bike sale on atm ( online and in store). No idea if it is any good!

Thanks for the Argos EBay heads up - got the huge Playmobil Grand Princess castle for £48 delivered (£99 on Amazon!) - it was 'half price' to £62.50, then 20% off automatically (today only I think), then code PRISTINE for 10% over £50, so that brought it down to £45 plus postage . Very pleased indeed!!

The Argos toys20 code will stack with the 2 for £15 too. I've just got four nice Lego sets for children's classmates presents that are priced £13 each for £24

These are the sets I got

I have discount codes for Cath Kidston, Chillys and Converse if anyone would like them? Not going to use them now and they have to be used up soon :)

Really good beauty offer on QVC today. They have Tili boxes which are like a non-subscription Birch box, which usually retail at £20. They are great value. I've had two and bought two as presents.

Today they're offering a Christmas stocking with £183 value for £50. great to break into smaller gifts

@sleepismysuperpower1 would love the cath kidston if still available please

@DillieDoily how did you get the option to post? I can only get it to click and collect but their are none in stock for over 22 miles

@sleepismysuperpower1 I’d love the Chillys code if it’s still available please?

@Gustavo1 @TreeLinedMotorway have PMed them to you x

Don’t forget to do your Santa letters everyone!!

Free Royal Mail Santa letter

Thanks for the Argos eBay tip, checked off a bunch of gifts. Almost done now, hooray!

The Royal Mail Santa letter, has anyone done one of these before? What is the response you get back? It says personalised, so I presume it includes the child's name... anything else? Age? Any reference to what they've asked for?

Does anyone have one from last year they wouldn't mind posting a picture of, masking any identifying info of course.

still have the chillys code available since PP couldn't use it on the item they wanted x

@sleepismysuperpower1 could I try the Chilly's code please?

Has anyone placed an order on the Argos site for delivery & not received any confirmation yet?

Placed mine 3 hours ago and when I submitted my order it said:

Thanks for placing your order.

Unfortunately, we can't confirm your order at the moment but we'll send you an email shortly (this may take a couple of hours during busy periods).

There's no need to re-submit your order.

They've taken the money from my available balance in my bank account though

@IdleBet I'm really sorry another poster has just PMed me and I replied with the code, if they reply saying that it isn't valid on the item i can PM it to you?

@Courtney555 I’ve just dug out last years for you. Not really personalized which I was a bit disappointed with but for the price of a stamp and an envelope it’s ok.
